Polymorphic sets
The definitions below describe the polymorphic set interface.
They are similar in functionality to the functorized BatSet.Make module, but the compiler cannot ensure that sets using different element ordering have different types: the responsibility of not mixing non-sensical comparison functions together is to the programmer. If you ever need a custom comparison function, it is recommended to use the BatSet.Make functor for additional safety.
union s t returns the union of s and t - the set containing all elements in either s and t. The returned set uses t's comparison function. The current implementation works better for small s.
sym_diff s t returns the set of all elements in s or t but not both. This is the same as diff (union s t) (inter s t). The returned set uses s's comparison function.
iter f s applies f in turn to all elements of s. The elements of s are presented to f in increasing order with respect to the ordering over the type of the elements.
filter_map f m combines the features of filter and map. It calls calls f a0, f a1, f aN where a0,a1..an are the elements of m and returns the set of pairs bi such as f ai = Some bi (when f returns None, the corresponding element of m is discarded).
The resulting map uses the polymorphic compare function to order elements.
split x s returns a triple (l, present, r), where l is the set of elements of s that are strictly less than x; r is the set of elements of s that are strictly greater than x; present is false if s contains no element equal to x, or true if s contains an element equal to x.
split_opt x s returns a triple (l, maybe_v, r), where l is the set of elements of s that are strictly less than x; r is the set of elements of s that are strictly greater than x; maybe_v is None if s contains no element equal to x, or Some v if s contains an element v that compares equal to x.
Return one element of the given set. The difference with choose is that there is no guarantee that equals elements will be picked for equal sets. This merely returns the quickest element to get (O(1)).
Return an enumeration of all elements of the given set. The returned enumeration is sorted in increasing order with respect to the ordering of this set.
